This is a very nice old-fashioned quick bread. It isn't as sweet as I expected (not a bad thing), though that may be because I used unsweetened shredded coconut. It seems to me that most flaked coconut is sweetened. I think that may add to the sweetness somewhat. Anyway, I'm quite happy with this. One thing to remember with breads like this is to let them stand overnight in order to give the flavors time to meld. They are not as good eaten soon after baking! Thank you very much for sharing this recipe with us.
